METALLIC WENDOW SASil AND Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April 3, 1906.

Application filed August 14, 1955. Serial No. 274,035.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it. known that I, J OSEPH TYRA, a citizen of the United-States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county'of Hennepin and State of Minnesota,=have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Window Sash and Frames; and I do hereby declare improve the same in the several particulars hereinaftennoted. p

The invention consists of the novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter described, and defined in the claims.

In the accompanyin drawings which illustrate my invention, lilie characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in elevation, showing a portion of one of the walls of a building and illustrating my invpntion applied to one of the windows therethe line :0 :c aof Fig. 1, some parts being broken away and some being shown by (lotted lines only. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on the line 00 of Fig. 1, some parts being oroken away and some parts being shown by dotted lines only. Fig. i is a vertical section taken on the line ra :2 of Fig. 4, some parts being broken away. Fig. 5 is a vertical section taken on the-line :0 cc of Fig. 1, some parts being broken away. Fig. 6 1s a vertical section taken on the line at 03 of Fig. 4, some parts being broken away. Fig. arts being broken away, illustrating a window-sash Fig. 8

, is a section-on the line 0: :c 'of Fig. 7, some improved window frame an parts being broken away; and Fig. 9 is a dc- ,tail taken on the same line as Fig. 2, but.

illustrating a slightly-modified construction.

' The numeral 1 indicates the wall of a building having a window-openin in which the sash are applied. The top of the window-frame is made chiefly of Vertically-spaced plates '2 and 8. T e sides of said frames are made up chiefly of laterallys acedplates 4 and 5, and the bottom or sil forming portion-of said frames is made. up chiefly of a plate 3, all of which Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on plates are constructed of sheet metal bent to the proper form, which is hereinafter more fully described. The top-forming plates 2 and 3 are united by outturned flanges 3* on.

shown in Fig. i. The plate 3 is bent to form annmer stop 3 an intermediate stop 3, and an outer stop 3 between'which stops seats for the upper edges of the upper and lower sash are formed. Longitudinally-extended an.gleirons '7 are secured by rivets, solder, or other means in the angle formed between the body and upturned portions of the plateB. (See Fig. 4.) The side-forming plates 4 fit in the grooves formed in the wall 1, (see Fig. 2,) and at points which are outward of the said to form joint-strips with thewall and edges outward of said folders 48*, that are extendep at 4 in line with the side of said channe strips 4. These flanges are riveted or otherwise rigidly secured to the overlapped flanges or" the. vertically-extended angle-iron sections 8. The plates 5 are bent to form inner stops 5 intermediate stops 5 andouter formed in which the sash movejvertically. The edges of the hates-5 are bent at 5 to form moldings or the equivalent thereof, that closely engage with the flange 4' of the lates The sill-forming plate 6 is incline outward and in line with the outer edges of the inner stops 5 is bent upward, then inward, and then downward, as best shown at 6 in Fig. 3. The outer edge of the plate 6 is turned downward at 6* and then inward at 6 'to form the outer portion of the sill. The lower ends of the vertical irons connected by short angle-iron sections 9, that also serve as supports for the sill-forming plates 6.

on the usual bearing-brackets l1 and ork through openings 12, formed in the upper portions of the plates 5 in line with the 11 per and lower sash, are presently to be descri ed;

The intermediate portions of the chemnel-plstes 13 are bent at 13* to form vertical stop-ribs against which the outer surface of the pone of glass (indicated by the chemo- ,ter 2) is ressed. The inner surface of the pane of g ess is directly pressed by interned portions of metallic detachable strips 17, which strips are formed of sheet metel bent at proximetel in the form shown in 2, 0.1 the outer e ges of which engage in the vertical pockets 13, formed by bend ing the strips. 13 upon themselves, best shown in Fig. 2. T he clamping-strips l? msy be rigidly secured in said pockets 12% by solder O1 rivets, 01' they may be held simply by friction. It will of coiu'se he uhdorstood that the parts 13, 14, 16, and 17 ell'move together as an entirety when the sash is raised and lowered.

The bottom of the lower sssh (see ii i ling plate 19, the former of which is bent in the form of a channel and is fori'ned in its upper portion with a press-groove 18, that receives the lower portion. of the pane 2. These plates 18 and 19 are preferably connected in the same manner as the plates 13 and 14 before describedthet is, the downtui'ned edges of the filling-plate 1? fit in pockets 15;", formed by the inwardly end upwardly turned edges of the parallel sides of the plate Also a pliable Weather-strip 20 seated in a groove or ocket formed within the intermcdiate portion of said plate 19, as before described. The to bar of the lower sash (see Fig. 5) is preferalzly formed h a single plate 21, which is bent to form a hol ow bar. More specifically stated, said plate 21 is bent at 2]. to form shoulders against which the outcrsurfaces of the pane 2 are pi'essed,snd the inner surfaces of said pane are pressed by e removable strip 22, similar to the heretofore dozipped joint late 23 1S bent e reo've which iecewes the loi v 1 ca; med by the n s ill 11,116 i h other on close 1 se l3 l4, 16, ans.
